That chapter was done before the 12 part serie the Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck.
The publisher liked it so much that he put it on a shelf and asked Don Rosa to do
the 12 part serie. As soon as the serie was all done and published, he released it
in North America (Europe had it one year earlier).
Oh, in case you didn't notice, Don Rosa always add a D.U.C.K somewhere on his covers
and on the 1st pic of page one of a story. It is like a where is charlie game :}
Some are very easy to find, some are real hard. D.U.C.K. stands for Dedicated to
Uncle Carl from Keno (the artist real name is Keno Don Rosa) and we all know that
Carl is Carl Barks, the creator of Uncle $crooge
This issue D.U.C.K is half a duck :}
